Invest2Develop

With its recently established Invest2Develop program the Atos Foundation aims to provide small ICT firms in developing countries with important ingredients for economic growth: knowledge, work and income. The foundation invests in the development of people by bringing their own staff together with local employees of the ICT start-up firms in order to share their professional experience and support further development of the companies. In addition to exchanging knowledge by entering these new markets the foundation also helps the companies in opening doors to western markets.
Small projects are outsourced to local firms providing them directly with work and income.

To increase the reach and effectiveness of the Invest2Develop program the foundation collaborates with international non-governmental organizations by leveraging their existing support to predefined target groups within the regions.
